Long Game Parenting :: Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson [Ep 337]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their real names are Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson, but they’ve been blogging for a long time on the internet as Big Mama and BooMama. In addition to being authors and speakers, they also host the fun podcast The Big Boo Cast where they talk about all the important stuff: faith, family, friends, football, fashion, and food. Plus, of course, their hair.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They join me for a mom friends episode where we talk about parenting teens, launching kids to college and letting go of mom guilt. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you were a bad mom, you wouldn't spend a lot of time worrying about if you were a bad mom. So the fact that you're feeling that guilt is like, you love your child, you're showing up, you're trying to do all the right things. And you just have to trust that God's grace covers the rest of it because they're going to be things you get wrong.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You won’t want to miss the fun and funny Melanie and Sophie. I consider them some of my mentor moms and they offer up a lot of candid advice and wisdom for playing the “long game” of parenting. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-size: 18pt;">Connect with Melanie:</span> </span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website:</span> <a href= "https://thebigmamablog.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">thebigmamablog.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">   </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/melanieshankle"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">facebook.com/melanieshankle</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram:</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/melanieshankle/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@melanieshankle</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">  </span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Sophie: </span></h2> <ul> <
